The first of the Semi Finals , from the Misaki Park Stadium, sees Defending champions Panasonic Wild Knights take on Kobelco Steelers for a place in their 8th straight final in 9 years. Panasonic got to the Semi Finals by beating Canon Eagles last week , in a match where Hayden Parker had a flawless display with the boot kicking ten from ten. Panasonic have an array of match winners in their line up,none more so than their left winger Kentaro Kodama who scored a brace last week. Kobelco Steelers also showed their teeth in their quarter final match last week where they beat Kintetsu Liners convincingly. The Steelers too have plenty match winners in their squad and their danger man Yoshikazu Ohashi also happens to be out on the left wing. Kick off moments away, and always we will have extensive coverage of the game right here on Ultimate Rugby.
